Nintendo Wii

The other day I was in best buy looking around. I got a gift certificate for Christmas so I wanted to see what new games were out. I first went to see if they had a Nintendo in stock. As usual, they didn't have one. I didn't have enough on the gift card to get a Nintendo. However, between the gift card and the money I had saved for something that I actually didn't end up getting I did. I went back to look at the computer games.
The Orange Box immediately caught my eye. I stared at it for a while and then continued browsing.
I stumbled upon Bio-Shock. It looks like a cool game. From the box I read that you go around and kill stuff. You can also drug your enemies and make them do stuff for you. You can do stuff to yourself and turn yourself into a lightning flinging wombat. Weird, but I thought it looked cool. I turned it over to check hardware requirements. My Pentium 4 wasn't fast enough. I could pull a Travis and somehow make it run. I am not sure how he does it. I think he just wills it to run. No matter how hard I try, my will just doesn't seem to influence my computer. I went back to the orange box. I checked its requirements. Yes! I had the hardware to run it with ease. However, I don't like buying stuff twice. I already own Half life 2 and episode one. but, I don't own the other stuff. I took it to the register and bought it.
All of sudden I see a gleeful employee run to the back with a Wii held over his head. "Spreeloink," I thought. He must have gotten first dibs on it. I went and asked him where he got it. He said, "Yeeeeeeeee! we just got in a shipment!" I had already gotten the orange box. I wanted a Wii but I didn't have enough for the orange box and the wii. I made a decision based on logic. I already own two fifths of orange box. I don't own anything to do with the wii. I took the orange box back and bought the wii. I also bought Zelda: Twilight Princess. I had to dig around in my wallet for that one. So far The wii is the coolest system I have ever played. Tennis is awesome. Sword fighting in Zelda is even better. The internet connection is very nice. I sent myself a message from my computer. Send me names and wii addresses and I will add you to my list of people I can Wii mail. I won't publish them as comments
